Handbags and Gladrags

Lyrics

[Vese 1] Ever seen a blind man cross the road Trying to make the other side? Ever seen a young girl growing old Trying to make herself a bride? So what becomes of you, my love When they finally stripped you of [Refrain] The handbags and the gladrags That your granddad had to sweat to buy [Verse 2] Once I was a young man And all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl And you bought everything in style But once you think you're in you're really out 'Cause you don't mean a single thing without [Refrain] The handbags and the gladrags That your granddad had to sweat to buy [Verse 3] Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And take a bottle full of rye, mmm Four and twenty blackbirds in a plate And you bake them in a pie, yeah They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away [Refrain] The handbags and the gladrags That your granddad had to sweat to buy Ah, to buy [Outro] Oh you gotta listen to what I'm saying 'cause I'm tellin' you, girl Ha, right where you are Oh, without the handbags and gladrags you're nothing You're no superstar I said, ah
